Chris Martin Visits Coldplay Fan Fighting Cancer in Hospital

by John Mullett - ALT 92.9 Music Director

Chris Martin made a very special stop before Coldplay's concert in the Philippines yesterday, visiting a sick fan in the hospital.

Before the show, Martin visited Ken Santiago, a medical student at the University of the Philippines-Manila who is suffering from stage 4 cancer. Ken Santiago had wanted more than anything to attend Coldplay's concert that night and even woke up early when tickets went on sale to stand in line and buy a platinum ticket to the concert.

Ken Santiago's older brother, penned an open letter on Facebook asking for help reaching the band...and it worked!
